SD1562. James Thomas Fields to Mary Russell Mitford
As published in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 18, 362 (in part).
Rome
[ca. April 1852]
I can see the almond trees in full bloom from my window … I had a charming visit while in Paris, to the Brownings, and only regretted I could not see more of them. I was glad to find Mrs. Browning in better health than I anticipated and hope she will live to write many more great poems.
